I'm not sure there's a point, it's transparent bullshit to anyone with 2
seconds to spend thinking about it. For whatever reason, FF seem keen to
try to kill this political stone that's weighing them down. 

Maybe a realistic tactic for us to raise the priority of our campaign
for an independent electoral commission. It's a particularly hard thing
to argue against, and it's something we can box FF in which, point out
that they are playing politics with the electoral process.
